What you need to know:

  • Despite service glitches experienced in the past few months, as well as flight delays and cancellations — mostly due to rapid growth and bad weather — RwandAir pledges to do its best to address these issues even as it continues its expansion plans.
  • Sources say the airline was affected by scheduling issues especially towards the end of the year when many of its pilots went on holiday, which disrupted operations.
  • In 2017 the airline carried over 900,000 passengers and this number is expected to increase to 1.2 million passengers in 2018.
